How can I hide an entire section in Webflow when a dynamic list is empty? I found a previous post that was somewhat helpful, but I need further clarification.

TL;DR
  • Access the Dynamic List in Webflow and select the Dynamic List Wrapper.
  • In Element Settings, apply Conditional Visibility using a CMS field like "Item Count" and set it to "is greater than" 0.
  • Check the Empty State by selecting “empty” from the list in the designer.
  • Preview your page to confirm the section hides properly when the list is empty.

To hide an entire section in Webflow when a Dynamic List is empty, you can use Webflow's built-in conditional visibility settings. Here's a breakdown of how you can accomplish this:

1. Access the Dynamic List

  • Go to your Webflow project and access the page where your dynamic list is located.
  • Select the Dynamic List Wrapper in the Navigator panel that corresponds to the dynamic content you want to check.

2. Apply Conditional Visibility

  • Open the Element Settings panel (by clicking the gear icon).
  • Scroll down to the Conditional Visibility section.
  • Set up a condition: Choose a field from your CMS Collection that indicates whether the list has items (e.g., an "Item Count" field) and set a condition such as "is greater than" 0.

3. Check the Empty State

  • Select the Dynamic List on your canvas.
  • Switch to the Empty State by clicking on the blue "empty" label in the bottom-left corner of the designer when viewing the collection list.
  • Style this state or leave it as is, depending on your needs.

4. Test the Conditional Visibility

  • Preview your page to confirm that the section hides correctly when no items are in the dynamic list.
  • Ensure you test with both populated and empty scenarios to verify functionality.

Summary

You can hide a section in Webflow by setting Conditional Visibility on a Dynamic List. Apply a condition based on your CMS content to control when the list appears, effectively hiding the section when it’s empty. Ensure you test different scenarios to confirm the setup works as expected.
